Dark Shadows

Deep self realisation,
In my mind a conversation.
The light and dark shadows understanding why,
My inner child finding some space to cry.
Sensitive, yes, highly I am,
I see and feel things more than most others can.
A blessing and a curse at the same time,
Often solitude becomes a preference of mine.
Like a sponge I can soak up your negativity or drama,
You will leave me feeling lighter and calmer.
But I will be heavy and drained from your presence,
So I must be careful to protect my essence.
In art, words and music my life can play out,
Emerging from this quiet introversion, my shout.
